Sandy Swims on to KARE11
 
Thank you all for cheering on Camp's "Swimming Grandma!" Sandy Abeler raised $9416 for scholarships with her June 30 swim across Cedar Lake. Praise God for His faithfulness through every part of this story, including the clear testimony for Christ and Camp Lebanon on KARE11. Philippians 4:13 explains it all: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength to do it." (SSV, Sandy's Swimming Version)
